Put flour, hazelnuts, sugar, salt, fat in flakes, egg, orange peel and vanilla sugar in a mixing bowl. Work through with the dough hooks of the hand mixer.

Divide into 15 pieces each and roll them into strands of dough about 24 cm long.

Chop the couverture and melt on a hot water bath. Dip the pretzels halfway into the chocolate coating and sprinkle with sugar crystals. Leave to dry. Keep cool in well closed tins
